This is helpful. Haven't directed anything (yet) but my inital plan is to just make them be as comfortable as possible and create am environment where actors and actresses can do what they do best.

If David Fincher is known for doing soooo many takes, then surely his films are scheduled to accommodate that, with producers and studios happy to oblige. But, it must take all day just to do one scene with his methods?

@@gabrielidusogie9189 Sounds like a good place to start.

@@Alan_Wigz Digital technology is key here. And multi-cams, which allow him to maximise his days. His shoots are certainly longer than many - I think 70 or so days last time I heard. Or could be more like a 100.

Luca guadagnino is a truly fantastic and passionate director. He's one of the most collaborative directors out there, his work with his actors, especially in call me by your name, is as much a piece of work by the actors as it is by the director. His ever growing collaborations with Tilda Swinton is proof in itself of how open and giving luca is.

Same.

I thought he was going to say something like "I would never insult cattle like that"

Except Bernardo Bertolucci

I don't care what their method is. Bullying a woman relentlessly is unacceptable in any scenario. I don't care if it's for creative purposes, she's a fucking human being, and that SHOULD trump everything else.

VultureClone Henceforth you don’t care.

@@VultureClone who?

@@VultureClone overreacting white knight... fyi you know nothing about actors or paying attention to a video for that matter. It's not for "creative purposes" it's their meaning for life aka reason to live despite all the suffering and difficulties. So I am pretty sure she didn't mind a few rough sentences = a little suffering when she gets an antidote for it in the form of a meaningful life. Oh and then there's the giant cheques and bonuses and awards... I suggest you stop this charade, mr knight.

Hearing this fills my soul. She’s one of my favorite actresses and he’s my favorite director. I’m a new director and I want to make great things and this is a good thing to hear from

@@people235 did you shot any films or short film?

I'm starting to agree with that: there's an extent to which an outside influence on how an actor is portraying a character will just fragment the cohesiveness of their arc... like as they try to fit what the director is saying they might lose sight of the actual character

I agree what Kubrick did was fucked up. But the end result was that amazing. One of the best performances in one fo the best films of all time. I’m not saying that justifies what Kubrick did to her, but it was an amazing result.

I'm sure she got over it

@@aptonymic3014 Doesn't make any less fucked up

@@aptonymic3014 She didn't.

@@aptonymic3014 did she? Lol

Ron Howard teaches a class like that on Masterclass, which is $200 or something for a year.

@@jordanhenshaw Appreciate the reply but I think I’ll pass.

i couldve played for him, i am dead outside

His actors and his films often feel very cold and emotionless. Thats because he was so strict on sticking to the script and doing so many takes without giving much direction. It almost creates a soullessness, calculated performance. That's obviously what he wanted or he wouldn't have done it that way. It works great in films like A Clockwork Orange and The Shining and even Eyes Wide Shut where everything is supposed to feel just a little bit off and surreal or haunting. The reason Full Metal Jacket feels like 2 different movies is because Lee Ermey actually had free range to ad lib, which basically no one else ever had, except maybe Peter Sellers. I trust Robert Duvall on acting more than about anyone and he always said Kubrick was not good with actors because of how bad and cold the perfomances always came out. He was right, but that directing method is also why his films feel so timeless and stick out even among the greats. I'm positive that's how he wanted his films to feel. But he also shouldn't have tortured actors the way he did. He basically accelerated the breakup of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage because of this. And I think he enjoyed it.

Shit, that’s a good observation. As I make more films myself, I’m more attuned to this. I can sense when there’s something wrong with the mood on set in the final product and it gives me a weird feeling.

omg same

He's not quite that bad, he didn't drive anyone to suicide. But similar attitudes I agree. It's no wonder that Fletcher got comparisons to Hartman from Full Metal Jacket. In fact Hartman could be considered a Kubrick stand-in.

Kubrick = Fletcher Duvall = Nieman

@@TomEyeTheSFMguy hahaha true

no wonder they worked well together😄

Yeah, most of the actors in Kubrick's films have the same kind of eyebrows.

@@shamayitabhattacharya3392 It's called the stare.

Spread the word, mate. Spread it far and wide.

I think Eastwood and Fincher are pretty close in their vision of the actors. They are looking for an actor who "is" already very close to the character. That way the actor has less distance to travel to be the character. - When to play Richard Jewell Eastwood chose Paul Walter Hauser as actor it is because he is already fat. The actor does not have to transform and gain weight. He "is" fat naturally so he doesn't have to think "I'm fat". When to play Sully he chooses Tom Hanks it is a "natural" choice. Tom Hank represents what the character of Sully is. -Fincher is also in there. When he takes Norton to play a character with a split personality are roles that Norton has already played. Brad Pitt easily represents the "masculine ideal". etc.

12 Angry Men and Dog Day Afternoon prove this fact The entire cast of these movies is fantastic He extracted the best performance of Al Pacino's career, imo

Marlon Brando raped a 19 year old woman on set for getting some "real" acting on film. Now is that ok?

I have no clue where you get off saying you know "what making movies needs to be about," but I'm sure it has a lot to do with how nice it feels to morally police others.

He didnt care, she didnt care, we shouldnt care.

You don't hear any other actors with Kubrick that complained about his treatment. Duvall was just a weak actor that must've been frustrating to work alongside

You should see Kubrick fantards justify him to death

Yes!! I didn't realize how little the female demographic takes up in film directing until my sister asked me to name my favourite female director

In the door cutting scene...Kubrick made Nicholson eat cheese sandwich (which he hates the most) for 3 weeks just to agitate him enough for the scene. He bullied everyone on set except Danny (the little boy) and didn't even let him watch the film till 18 years of his age (to protect him psychological). Kubrick was a necessary evil but don't think he was like this to all.

@@shivamgaur3400 "Necessary" evil! No such thing exists. Only evil exists. If a director trusts his actors and their capabilities there is absolutely no need to do anything of this sort. It feels more of an egoistic approach than a necessity!

@@abhaythegodfather well I have answered your original question whether he would bully a mega star. Rest is your opinion.
